SAFETY NOTICE
CLASS III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low enough that, under normal conditions, a person can safely come into contact, without the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built into Class I and Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufficient protection, and further, more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.
